Hey,

Jumping into the world of retro gaming with a Raspberry Pi 4 and Recalbox, but need some assistance setting up it. Downloaded the latest image, flashed it to my SD card, but things aren't quite clicking.

Hoping some of you Recalbox veterans can lend a hand with:

• WiFi Connection: My WiFi just won't connect, tried both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. Any ideas?

• Controller Configuration: My PS4 controller isn't working over Bluetooth. Do I need to connect it with
  a USB cable first?

• Game ROMs: Feeling a bit lost on how to organize and transfer my game ROMs. Any tips or tricks?

Followed the basic setup guide and also read this: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/22950/im-new-and-need-help-whit-my-pi4-4gb-with-recalbox-powerapps-sound-lags but these issues are still dogging me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and timesaving.

Thanks in advance for the assist!

Looking forward to joining the retro gaming fun.

James

@bubbler The ThinkPad R61 would offer a slight performance boost over the T43, especially for emulating systems up to the PS1 era. For a 14-inch 4:3 screen, those models are your best bet. Newer 4:3 laptops are rare, so these are solid choices.

@bubbler Although the older hardware may limit performance, Recalbox can run on a ThinkPad T43. Emulation up to 16-bit consoles like the SNES and Sega Genesis should generally go without a hitch. Due to the T43's out-of-date CPU and GPU, more demanding systems, such as the PlayStation or N64, may struggle.
